Cable operator Mediacom blasts FCC. A major cable operator has blasted the Federal Communications Commission for not taking an active role in trying to keep programming costs down. In a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, Rocco Commisso, the chairman and chief executive of Mediacom, a New York-based cable operator with about 1.14 million subscribers in 22 states, criticized the regulatory agency for not being aggressive in trying to keep programming costs down. "I am deeply disappointed with the Commission's lack of interest in keeping multichannel television services affordable," Commisso wrote. "Content owners have been unwilling to exercise the slightest measure of self-restraint, and are emboldened by the Commission's unwillingness to even try to impose some limits or speak out against programmers' practices.
" Commisso said that by not acting, the FCC has "cost Americans billions of dollars, as programming owners have increased their rates well in excess of inflation. " -- Joe Flint. Mediacom - Customer Support. Mediacom Support (MediacomSupport) sur Twitter. Mediacom - Customer Support. Cable Players.
